HEVC video stuttering in high end computer

[hacendado]

Hi, I have issues when playing 4k or 1080p video recorded with a GoPro camera (HEVC codec).

First of all, this issue does not happen if I use "media player classic" as installed by CCCP (Combined Community Codec Pack). The video plays perfectly smooth.

I have a high-end computer with a Titan X GPU but I'm unable to play video using VLC, both with hardware acceleration on auto (as per default) or on in any setting or off.

The video plays the sound but I get just standstill frames or short bursts of video play and then it jams again.

Have anyone encountered this issue before and knows the cause and how to fix it?

I'm using VLC 3.0 but this also happened on the previous version when I tried it.

Set VLC to use DXVA3 aka D3D11:
Tools -> Preferences -> Video
Output = D3D11

Tools -> Preferences -> Input/Codecs
Hardware accelerated decoding = D3D11 Video Acceleration

Then save, exit and restart VLC.

Hello, thanks for your reply but the issue still persists, I've set DX11 both in Video settings and codec settings, to no avail

[hacendado]

anyone else can provide a solution?

Please open Tools -> Messages (set Verbosity to 2) before you start the playback, and then paste the full resulting log here or on Pastebin.com if it's too long.

Also please upload a short sample of a problematic file to either Zippyshare.com (200 MB max) or to EmbedUpload.com, the latter will upload the file for you to several other hosts (use the default ones) and then post the link to the file here.

If needed cut it with DGsplit and read here about how to do it:
viewtopic.php?f=14&t=57724&p=193335#p193335
50 MB max should be enough.

Hi, here you have the sample file. It plays smoothly on MPC-HC, but it freezes in VLC and only the sound plays.

Here is the debug log. I stopped the video near the end when the debug message was repeating.

For some reason VLC has problems with that kind of files.

[hacendado]

So, is there no solution or workaround for this?

[hacendado]

[Pimmetje]

I have the same issue. Any news?

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

Try to change video output to Direct3D9

[startegopa]

i just used in video output option openGL for windows. on 2160p video. instant smooth playback. before - sttuter and freeze video but with sound ok.

[Nordmann]

Also still had stuttering with x265/hevc 4k files using latest 3.0.8 VLC

Settings > All settings > Input/Codec > Video Codec > FFmpeg > Threads: setting this from 0 (auto) to 8 fixed it for me...

Video Output + Input set to D3D11 Acceleration

[Silentwulf]

I had a similar issue for awhile.
With DirectX11 encoding on, I found that the problem for me was that my de-interlace setting was set to "On" with Yadif (x2).
Setting it to "Automatic", or changing the de-interlacing method (for example, Blend), solved my problem.

h.265 videos run like a dream now

thank you sir, you are a genius! nothing else solved it for me except your answer! and i have an rtx 2060 super with a ryzen 7 3700x.
its weird that you need to dig so deep in the options menu to get something so common like h265 working properly.
